In the total<br /> active lifetime of the group, about 80 articles were approved, with<br /> half of those in the first six months after the group was created.<br /> <br /> More general access to the WWW has made the group superfluous, and the<br /> last moderator agreed there was no purpose in keeping the newsgroup<br /> around.<br /> <br /> <br /> HISTORY:<br /> <br /> The newsgroup sci.finance.abstracts was created in June 1996. The<br /> Google archive has 78 approved, non-FAQ articles, with half in the<br /> last 6 months of 1996, and most of the rest in 1997. The final two<br /> articles were approved in August and October 2006, after a gap of<br /> almost two years.<br /> <br /> <br /> CHARTER:<br /> <br /> The newsgroup line is:<br /> <br /> |sci.finance.abstracts Abstracts of unpublished finance working papers.<br /> <br /> The charter (from the CFV):<br /> <br /> This is a newsgroup for the posting of abstracts of up to 250 words<br /> (and instructions for requesting or downloading the full working<br /> paper) of unpublished original theoretical and empirical research on:<br /> <br /> Corporate Finance<br /> Financial Markets<br /> Investments<br /> Options, Futures and other Derivative Securities<br /> Insurance<br /> Banking and Financial Intermediation<br /> Other topics in Finance<br /> Related topics in Accounting, Economics and Applied Statistics<br /> <br /> <br /> PROCEDURE: <br /> <br /> The full group removal procedure is documented here:<br /> <br /> http://www.big-8.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=policies:rmgroup<br /> <br /> Those who wish to comment on this request to remove this newsgroup should<br /> subscribe to news.groups.proposals and participate in the relevant threads <br /> in that newsgroup.<br /> <br /> To this end, the followup header of this RFD has been set to <br /> news.groups.proposals.<br /> <br /> All discussion of active proposals should be posted to news.groups.proposals.<br /> <br /> If desired by the readership of closely affected groups, the discussion<br /> may be crossposted to those groups, but care must be taken to ensure that<br /> all discussion appears in news.groups.proposals as well.<br /> <br /> <br /> DISTRIBUTION:<br /> <br /> This document has been posted to the following newsgroups:<br /> <br /> news.announce.newgroups (moderated)<br /> news.groups.proposals (moderated)<br /> sci.finance.abstracts (moderated)<br /> sci.econ<br /> misc.invest.technical<br /> <br /> The proponent will also post pointers to:<br /> <br /> sci.econ.research (moderated)<br /> <br /> <br /> PROPONENT: <br /> <br /> Jim Riley &lt;jimrtex@pipeline.com&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> CHANGE HISTORY: <br /> <br /> 2007-07-17 1st RFD<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
